Did you use a flash? It is a bit harsh, I think. Good composition though.

Hmm - no stars, planets, or moon. Slightly over sharpened, and the composition feels odd. 2

Foreground seems almost painted. Not sure it creates an attractive appeal. Also there is a great deal of grain, probably due to high iso and long exposure. I think subject could have been better.

I lke this, it is different, the only I don'r like is the electric line
06/06/2008 08:31:10 PM
Too much distraction with no real subject.
06/06/2008 09:50:27 AM
a little bit too much noise
06/06/2008 09:35:49 AM
Wire..flowerss..Noise..where's the Night Sky..

The flash over powers the image.
06/05/2008 05:15:10 PM
there isn't enough foreground to justify the out-of-focus background
06/05/2008 03:07:34 PM
i like the grain in this photo.

Interesting composition but a bit noisy. Good luck, anyway.
06/05/2008 09:43:53 AM
Art speaks differently to different people.
06/05/2008 05:34:47 AM
Good composition here, particularly the framing.
06/04/2008 05:59:54 PM
It's not working for me - The front is overexposed, the back is really fuzzy.
06/04/2008 04:23:43 PM
Minor emphasis on the sky.
06/04/2008 03:13:49 PM
In some ways I really like it. It's kind of creepy with an ironic foreground of flowers. The flowers are over-sharpened or compressed and the flash is very harsh. I like the rest of it though. I fear it will score on the lower end of the stack but thanks for sharing something different and for staying outside the box.

The main thing re the theme, the night sky, is out of focus, but the flowers in the foreground are nice.

Since this was "advanced editing", you could have taken advantage of that and done a few things (assuming, of course, that you have the software for it). At the very least clone out the power line. Possibly taking a second frame with the background sharp, and merge them. Increase the saturation on the foreground, or better still (as I have a feeling you may have used a camera mounted flash) done a light paint from the side. Like this, I find it difficult to see anything interesting, captivating or pretty in it, sorry.

Use the moon, stars or planets DNMC
06/03/2008 09:15:02 PM
The noise hurts the image overall. But I like the framing.
06/03/2008 08:48:22 PM
Don't think having the focus on the foreground flowers was a good idea
06/03/2008 08:16:49 PM
is that you rook?
